I just read something about this one: GitHub - KieronQuinn/AmbientMusicMod: Port of Now Playing from Pixels to other Android devices

Apparently it can do the recognition on device. Seems to need a bit of setting it up, but seems interesting. (Even if Google is involved, as this App is a port of Google’s “Now Playing” feature.)
